Perhaps someone else will come up with an idea, but the problem might not be inside the piano. Make sure the lyre is firmly attached to the bottom of the piano, and that both lyre support rods are firm in their respective holes. By pressing on the left pedal, it might cause the lyre to shift enough to cause a grunt, groan, or squeek where the lyre braces set into their holes underneath the piano, or at the bottom of the lyre.
